Walker Named
To Health
Board
It has been recently
announced that E. D.
Walker, Executive Director
of Upper Ocmulgee Econo
mic Opportunity Commis
sion, Inc. has been elected to
the North Central Georgia
Health Systems Agency
Board of Directors.
Walker was elected along
with 61 other members from
the 24 county North Central
HSA District.
P.L. 93-641, the National
Health Planning and Re
sources Development Act of
1974 created Health System
Agencies throughout Ameri
ca, and each State Governor
was given authority to
sub-divide his respective
state into HSA Districts.
Governor Busbee has es
tablished six HSA Districts,
Butts County being a
member of the 24 county
North Central Georgia HSA.
“The new law attempts to
combine the best features of
Comprehensive Health Plan
ning Agencies (CHP), Re
gional Medical Programs
(RMP), and Hill-Burton
Agencies into one new health
planning and resources de
velopment effort,” Walker
states.
The functions at which the
legislation is directed are:
(1) health planning, hereto
fore provided through CHP;
(2) development of health
resources, heretofore pro
vided through RMP’s (for
health services; and Hill-
Burton Agencies (for health
facilities); and (3) regulation
or quasi-regulations such as
certificate of need for
hospital beds and section
1122 of the Social Security
Act which provides for
review of capital expendi
tures for hospital construc
tion, both of which have been
accomplished through CHP
Agencies depending on state
law.
The Health Systems Agen
cies are primarily responsi
ble for preparing and
implementing plans designed
to improve the health of
residents of their health
service area; to increase the
accessibility, continuity, and
quality of health services in
the area; to retrain increases
in the cost of providing health
services; and to prevent
unnecessary duplication of
health resourves.
Walker states that he is
looking forward to working
with the Butts County
Hospital Authority and the
Butts County Board of Health
and related health services

Talmadge Urges
ATLANTA, (GPS) The
United States’ basic econo

worsening, but fundamental
values must be aban

Talmadge told his fellow
Baptists at the Georgia
Baptist Convention’s 153rd
annual meeting in Columbus.
“At no time since our
country was founded on faith,
has faith in government been
virtually so nonexistent,”
Talmadge said in calling for
a re-examination of the
“spirit of America.”

are being handled or, in the
judgment of most people,

said.
“Credibility in government
must be restored . . . and it
will be restored . . . when
the people demand and elect
responsible and responsive
public officials who have the
courage to put the welfare of
the country above politics.
“At no time since the Great
Depression has the United
States’ economy been in such
a shambles,” he declared.
Sen. Talmadge said there
are hopeful signs of re
covery, “but I would be less
than honest if I did not tell
you that a basic economic
problem remains unsolved,
and indeed appears to be
growing worse.”
“I refer,” he continued, “to

which has burdened the

The Georgia senior sena
tor. who is chairman of the
Senate Agriculture and vice
chairman of the Senate
Finance Committees, said
New York went broke with
the same financial policies.
He added:
“lam opposed to a federal
bail-out of New York City. I
do not believe the people of
Georgia sent me to Washing
ton to spend their tax dollars
as a reward for political
expediency, or to underwrite
the most monumental
government mismanage
ment of this century. There is
a great lesson here for the
federal government. I hope
the big spenders in Washing
ton are paying attention.”
Having touched on what he
said was “only a few of the
ills that beset our country in
this Bicentennial Year,” Sen.
Talmadge said:
“They represent a dark
side of America. We do not
celebrate them, or rejoice in
them, but we cannot ignore
their existence. We must not
allow these ills to become an
insidious cancer in the body
of America.
“Our problems are serious.
But they are by no means
hopeless. Rather than bow in
despair to the forces that
would destroy the spirit of
America, I urge that we seize
upon the Bicentennial as a
time for action . . .a time
for reawakening, a rededica
tion, and religion.”
“I submit,” Talmadge said
in closing, “that America
needs a crusade of standard
bearers. We need anew
generation of inspired lead
ers to set standards that
hardworking, God-fearing
Americans can follow. We
need a virtual army of
patriotic people to carry the
banner high.

responsibility ... of law
and order ... of respect for

HIGHLIGHTS
It may be a short week, but it'll be filled with tradition and possible muscle-flexing by
some of the bowl-bound teams as they conclude the regular season. And a few teams had
better do some muscle-flexing if they expect to be bowl-bound!
U.C.L.A. is in the latter group. With a win over Southern California Friday night, the
Bruins can wrap up the Pacific 8 title and a trip to the Rose Bowl. The Trojans are already
headed for the Liberty Bowl, but they will have a deciding ' vote'’ on U.C.L.A.'s future. A
close vote ... the Uclans will host the Rose Bowl, beating Southern Cal by six points.
Also on Friday night, the Southwest Conference comes down to the nitty-gritty. Texas
A & M entertains Texas in a battle of unbeatens in the conference. If the Longhorns win—
and they're favored by a point, they win the championship and a trip to the Cotton Bowl.
If Texas A & M should win, there'll be an extended wait 'til next week when the Aggies
play Arkansas.
In the annual service academy game in Philadelphia, one might say that Army will have
the tradition, but Navy will have the power. Army’s tradition in the past few years has been
to lose, and this year looks to be no different. The powerful Midshipmen are 25-point
favorites.
The championship of the Western Athletic Conference and the host spot in the Fiesta
Bowl will be at stake as Arizona meets Arizona State. Although the Sun Devils are unde
feated and the Wildcats have only lost one—and contrary to national polls—neither
team's power quotient has been high enough to be ranked in our Top 20 more than two
or three times during the season. Calibre of competition plays a big part in a team’s
rating. Arizona will just nip Arizona State by one point.
In three traditional games, each involving a team headed for a post-season bowl, Sugar
Bowl-bound Alabama is favored by 24 points over Auburn. Florida is going to the Gator
Bowl, and they should beat Miami by 21. And Georgia, a surprise participant in the Cotton
Bowl, will wind up its regular season beating Georgia Tech by five points.
Of 2,066 games forecast through Saturday, November 15th, we've picked 1,574 correctly
... missed on 492 .. . and 42 games have ended in ties. That gives us a "smile-nnd-frown' 1
average of .762.
